Mirrored Blanket Stitch

Mirrored Blanket stitch hand embroidery is one of the decorative variations of the Blanket stitch. The stitches are alternately narrow and widely spaced. This creates a beautiful repetitive pattern.

On the reverse side of the fabric, the row of double straight stitch will be visible.
